Sure it's only a tease that's aborted for El Paso, but it's Veneta, so it has to be the best!

Melodic and intense, by far my favorite space melts into Stella. Very underrated show.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
July 7, 1989
JFK Stadium

Is JFK the Cornell of the Brent era? #1 versions on here of Aiko, Rooster, Ramble On Rose, Memphis Blues, Blow Away (3x the votes of #2), Box Of Rain, and Knockin'. #2 versions of Bucket & SOTM, Top 5 (and #1 post-K&D) Scarlet->Fire. Top 5 Loser. #2 Brent-era Wharf Rat (behind only the iconic MPP '83 version where God was playing in the band...). Is it that that many people really have CW&I? I didn't think that was more widespread than other official releases. This was my first show. It's no wonder I got hooked for life.

I Need A Miracle

The Centrum

Thanks for the rec. This is really great. In terms of spontaneous improvisation, this reminds me a little of the Sailor > Saint jam from 10/19/81 coming from out of nowhere.

This is off topic, but I wanted to let everyone know that HV's top contributor Glyn Parson recently passed away due to complications from lyme disease. I grew up playing midget football and went to high school with Glyn. Even though we both went to the same first show (7/7/89), I didn't know he was going at the time and only found out about the true depth of his GD fandom years later. He is a good soul and will be missed in this world. https://www.maestumpfuneralhome.com/obituary/glyn-parson
